I'm Jake O'Neill, a passionate creative with a decade of digital media experience. Brandishing a diverse portfolio of multidisciplinary projects, including games, illustrations, videos, animations, sound design, and 3D models, I'm always prepared to solve problems across a variety of different mediums. Communication and cooperation are at the core of my artistic philosophy, allowing me to collaborate with others at all steps of the creative process, achieve rapid results, and deliver high quality products.
With 6 years of game development experience, and 3 years of experience teaching digital media and game development courses at UC Santa Cruz, I have the technical know-how, soft skills, and capability for learning that make me a valuable member of any creative team.
